Spanish immersion where you practice ordering meals in Spanish delivers practical application through Spanish-speaking lunches with staff encouraging conversation practice, cultural activities requiring authentic communication with locals, restaurant experiences necessitating menu navigation, and daily interactions throughout boutique hotel environments. The Fluenz Spanish Immersion creates natural practice opportunities where staff encourage participants to order meals in Spanish, cultural activities require real communication with Mexican guides and servers, and boutique hotel settings provide comfortable low-pressure practice environments.
